    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Let me play this a different way and see how this rhymes with you: If Cuba an independent sovereign nation decides they want to be a full blown communist country and moves towards a strong diplomatic and military alliance with Russia (or CPC) opening its borders to military bases, the western...

    This is not in Boca Chica Blvd, but still it is named as such. This will really help during those launch times. Still need a 16 stall or better 32 stall in South Padre

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    You want to end the war in Ukraine, give iron clad guarantees that Ukraine will not join NATO, not now, not anytime in the future. Give guarantees for Russia unfettered land access and water rights to Crimea. If US had done that in Jan of 2022, this war would not have started. Now much blood...

    Afghanistan is much more of a neighbor for Russia, than Iraq and Bosnia would ever be for US. Russia invaded Cuba? I need to take some history lessons.

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    The only way Israel can live in peace is to keep the entire populace in Gaza and West Bank, firmly under IDF's thumb. Just allowing them to breathe and carry on with their daily subsistence lives and nothing more. Give them an inch of autonomy and freedom, they will exhibit all the...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    If you claim that was defensive (you may have a point there), this Russian invasion of Ukraine was absolutely defensive for Russia to pre-emptively counter NATO aggressions and expansion.

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    BS. Iraq & Yugoslavia & Afghanistan were invaded by a coalition of NATO countries. Just because those wars didn’t have a stamp of NATO doesn’t absolve US. And none of these were defensive wars. Atleast Russia fought wars with its immediate neighbors.

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Any noise by Russia on having a defense treaty with Mexico or Cuba, I wonder what US will do? Go begging to UNSC? NO. You will see some short range missiles raining down on Cuba, followed by a ground invasion. Let me fix that for you. Breaking promises by offering NATO membership to Ukraine...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    This is true... but lets not rewrite history here. The one who reneged on promises over and over again was NOT Putin, but US Presidents and NATO. Over and over again, US president after president gave promise to Yeltsin, Gorbachev and also Putin that "NATO will NOT expand east". A bunch of...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Nice to see at least one leader talk sensibly, coherently and advocating for peace. Demented Biden who is a slave to the warmongering Dem senators who make money from the MIC, and Napoleonic EU are drifting towards WW3.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Agreed. That is why I would say that Tesla has very poor blind spot detection and dissemination. While other manufacturers have a light in the side mirrors that comes on when a car is in the blind spot, the Tesla onscreen visualization cannot be relied upon to make decisions on lane changing.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    In a lot of ways I think Chuck’s UPL is much easier than many UPLs I have seen in DFW area. Here is one where the current version (12.3) struggles to cross even in moderate traffic. Waits for traffic to ease completely on both sides, but that means waiting forever most of the day.

    But they do know that reentry survival and tiles performance is THE unknown and the main focus for IFT4. So why not wait till the test is completed before loading up on the tiles, while the rest of the ship can be built fully? It is also true and well understood that removing tiles is a...

    This means Hamas has the audacity to still have have a few hostages alive but not return them, and the Woke liberal world will not put any pressure on Hamas to release them.

    Yes it is horrible. It is giving strikes for just glancing for a few seconds to the right or left, when it is cruising on a straight road at a sedate 30 mph speed with no traffic around. Very annoying. I got 5 strikes in just three days and was put in week of both FSD/AP jail.

    What I don't quite understand, they had two cameras in the ship and we did see two different views. But in the later part of the mission, only one that was close to the forward flag was used. And even when that one got covered in debris during the final parts of the landing, they never used the...
